Team news: Friedel; Walker, Kaboul, King, Assou-Ekotto; Bale, Sandro, Parker, Modric, van der Vaart; Adebayor. Cudicini, Bassong, Corluka, Carroll, Livermore, Dos Santos, Townsend. Defoe out with a virus, apparently. Edit: The BBC teams are wrong, SF.
It looks like Bale on the right and Modric on the left. I think that I'd rather see Bale on the left, van der Vaart on the right and Modric playing a more advanced role, to be honest, but I don't think that Redknapp will.
Wigan: Al Habsi, Gohouri, Caldwell, Figueroa, Van Aanholt, Diame, Watson, McCarthy, Moses, Di Santo, Gomez. Subs: Kirkland, Crusat, Maloney, McArthur, Sammon, Jones, Stam.

Team news: Just showed Sandro's hair on SSN, it's all blue now and the 'hawk has had a bit of a trim BBC still claiming that Dawson's starting
The team for wigan is: Freidel Walker Kaboul King Modric Sandro Parker Bale Van Der Vaart Adebayor Looks a bit too defensive considering were playing wigan, and also defoe out was probably a blow, he had started to show a good combination with adebayor. Modric on the right cant be too good IMO, but i still expect us to win COYS
I certainly hope that isn't our team cos there's only 10 players there Joking aside, I'll be interested to see how Sandro and Parker play together, along with VdV and Adebayor.
Personally I think this is the strongest team we can put out. Not defensive at all if it lines up as 4-2-3-1 with VdV, Modric and Bale well advanced in support of Adebayor
From the look of our bench, we don't have many attacking players available. Sandro and Parker are good on the ball and can play higher up the pitch if needed.
